A lot of self inflicted damage
Authored by: Steve Martin on Sunday, April 21 2013 @ 08:35 AM EDT

There are true multinational companies, but none known to me has originated in the Us of A.

Um, how about International Business Machines? Didn't they originate in the U.S. of A.? And Apple? Boeing? Coca-Cola? How about Google?

Or am I misunderstanding your statement?

A lot of self inflicted damage

Perhaps that depends on definitions, but I can think of several large American corporations which are separately incorporated on multiple continents.

My thoughts actually tended towards the automotive industry and the rather dated (IMO) thought to "buy American". Many of the vehicles found on the "Most American automobile" list these days are actually Hondas and Toyotas. :-)

I was also thinking of my own employer ... headquartered in Geneva, and I'm in the US, yet my normal working day is spend corresponding on a regular basis with teammates in Ireland, Amman, Sydney, Singapore, the UK, and Montreal as well as locally, and most are not local. Also, curiously, none of our main working groups are all that close to the headquarters at all. :-) It's a rather distributed experience...
